Maximilian Eggestein misses the simple things. "I miss life in the dressing room. Team spirit is there, but it’s not the life we’re used to when we’re training in groups of four instead of 25. We hope things can return to normal as soon as possible," said Werder’s midfield man during Tuesday morning’s mixed zone chat.

Above all, the 23-year-old is longing for competition – "both at training and in actual games, I just miss it." Maxi is currently only leaving the house for training and food shopping, but he and his teammates are preparing for such competition with great enthusiasm. "We feel fitter than we did before," said the older Eggestein brother with conviction, adding that the involuntary break in the season has done him and his team a lot of good.

"It might be a fresh start, but we’re not starting at zero. This is not the start of a season. We are aware of the situation we find ourselves in," said Eggestein, pointing out that the standings in the Bundesliga have not changed. The mission now is to fix it and make sure that this season, riddled with unprecedented experiences, has a happy ending. "We have to redeem ourselves and we want to do so," he concluded.
